Factors to Consider When Choosing a Conveyor Belt
When selecting a conveyor belt, consider the following factors:
- Material Compatibility: Ensure the belt material is compatible with your products. For example, polyurethane belts are ideal for food-contact applications, while Balata belting isn't recommended for food-contact use. It's a tough material that would be useful for heavy-duty applications.
- Temperature Resistance: Consider your application's operating temperature. For instance, PTFE-coated glass mesh belting can withstand higher temperatures, so it's recommended in environments with high humidity.
- Strength and Durability: If your operation involves handling heavy loads or sharp objects, consider a tougher material so that nothing causes cuts or rips in the belting.
- Hygiene Requirements: Industries such as food processing require belts that are easy to clean and maintain. Polyurethane and PTFE mesh belts are great choices due to their hygienic properties.
Industries and Applications for Conveyor Belting
Conveyor belts are used in a wide range of industries, and the right belt can enhance efficiency and productivity in various applications:
- Food Processing: Polyurethane, silicone and plastic belts ensure hygiene and temperature resistance, making them ideal for handling food products.
- Manufacturing: Rubber and PVC belts offer durability for moving parts and products along production lines.
- Packaging and Distribution: Belts with specialised surfaces, such as Balata, ensure products are securely conveyed during packaging and sorting processes.
- Paper and Board: PTFE mesh belting allows for airflow, which makes it a good choice for textile drying, screen print drying
